Four Generations of Iron, Wire Rope and Load Charts.

From early lattice-boom craft to today’s electric overhead crane packages — Demag keeps every published SWL reproducible on the test bench.

Company Story Along the Lift Timeline

Demag’s modern OEM era began in 1994 with a clear brief: industrial buyers needed overhead and bridge cranes whose duty-group claims survived audit, not marketing slides. Over three decades we expanded production to 320,000 m², staffed 2,800 specialists, and built service coverage across 85 countries — always with the same rule that a load chart we cannot reproduce does not ship.

  1. 1994

    Modern Demag crane OEM charter

    Serial production of double-girder overhead cranes opens with ISO 9001 process control and FEM duty-group documentation from day one.

  2. 1998

    First lattice-boom crawler series

    Power-plant turbine lifts prove pin-gauge discipline and anti-two-block interlocks under ASME B30 witness protocols.

  3. 2006

    Bridge crane standardization

    Pin, bushing and trolley packages standardized across demag bridge crane spans so plants can mix bay lengths without unique spare chaos.

  4. 2012

    Global parts hub network

    Regional warehouses stock demag crane spare parts and demag hoist parts for contracted MTTR under 18 hours on priority sites.

  5. 2018

    Electric overhead modernization

    Fixed-bay electric packages replace diesel mobile lifts indoors — addressing the electric versus diesel crane total-cost debate with measured kWh and emission logs.

  6. 2024

    Connected load-chart telemetry

    Optional overload and wind cut-out telemetry feeds reliability reports for EPC engineers of record.

Values That Survive Shutdown Audits

Engineering Honesty

Load charts you can verify, hoist speed curves you can recalibrate, and FEM duty groups that match the hours your operators actually log.

Iron Reliability

8,000-hour rebuild targets, slew-bearing torque audits on mobile fleets, and cylinder reseal warranties that outlast a single project season.

Operator Respect

Cab ergonomics, clear pendant layouts, ROPS where applicable, and noise specs that keep 12-hour shifts sustainable.
